Title: Distributing hydrokinetic energy in fluids
Inventor: FREI ALEXANDRA SARAH
IPC: B01F5/00
Filed: 2002-07-10
Granted: 2010-01-19
Abstract: Each immersed jet creates turbulences as a result of the resistance of the medium in which it is immersed and at the end of its effective range the complete introduced energy is broken down into turbulent flows. These turbulent flows observed as a whole are local, thus are small-scale. It is however indeed these small-scale turbulences which have a strong eroding effect and it is the object of the invention to produced as high a number as possible of small-scale turbulences and to distribute these over a large volume. Large volume is to be understood as for example 3000-4000 m3 on a surface of 2000 m2 and a height of 2 m as is the case with a storage tank of 50 m diameter and a liquid column of 3 m. The problem thus lies in the optimal distribution of the introduced energy.

Title: Pass through valve and stab tool
Inventor: HAYES KIRBY
IPC: F04B47/02
Filed: 2004-03-11
Granted: 2007-11-27
Abstract: A method and system allows periodic access the wrong way through one or more one-way valves installed in a fluid flow stream. Fluid can flow through the bypassed valves or through the tools used to bypass the valves such as those of a reciprocating production pump. A stab tool cooperates with a valve to unseat a ball from a ball seat so as to bypass the ball and pass through the ball seat. The stab tool can be conveyed by tubing for discharge of fluid through ports in the stab tool. In another aspect of the invention, a rod installed within a pump between a reciprocating uphole valve and a downhole valve is arranged so that when the pump is closed, the stab tool at the rod's bwer end passes through the downhole valve and a projection at the rod's upper end passed though the uphole valve the pump is partially closed. Fluid can be pumped in reverse through the pump fluidize debris.

Title: Slurry hydrocarbon synthesis with external hydroisomerization in downcomer reactor loop
Inventor: MART CHARLES JOHN
IPC: C07C1/00
Filed: 2002-10-04
Granted: 2011-01-25
Abstract: A slurry Fischer-Tropsch hydrocarbon synthesis process for synthesizing liquid hydrocarbons from synthesis gas, in a hydrocarbon synthesis reactor, also hydroisomerizes the synthesized hydrocarbons in one or more external downcomer reactor hydroisomerizing loops outside of the reactor, but which are a part of the synthesis reactor. A monolithic catalyst is used for the hydroisomerization, and slurry circulation between the synthesis reactor and the one or more hydroisomerization loops is achieved, at least in part, by density-difference driven hydraulics created by removing gas bubbles from the slurry passed into the loop. Preferably, catalyst particles are also removed before the slurry contacts the monolithic hydroisomerization catalyst.

Title: Use of hop acids in fuel ethanol production
Inventor: MAYE JOHN PAUL
IPC: C12C3/08
Filed: 2004-02-09
Granted: 2012-05-01
Abstract: Six hop acids are common to hops and beer: alpha acid, beta acids, isoalpha acids, rho-isoalpha acids, tetrahydro-isoalpha acids, and hexahydro-isoalpha acids. The six hop acids were tested to determine which were the most effective in inhibiting the growth of bacteria common to fuel ethanol production. The bacteria used in the tests were Lactobacillus brevis and Lactobacillus fermentum. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the hop acids were determined using MRS-broth. Molasses mash and wheat mashes were used as the growth media for the fermentations. In all cases the hop acids controlled the growth of these two lactobacillus bacteria with tetrahydroisoalpha acid, hexahydroisoalpha acid, and isoalpha acid killing the most bacteria at the lowest MIC. Treating yeast propagators, steep tanks, and fermenters with a minimum inhibitory concentration of hop acids will stop bacteria growth, increase ethanol yields and avoid the need for antibiotics.

Filed: 1998-10-29
Granted: 2010-08-24
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for grinding a roll having been thermally/mechanically damaged on a surface, comprising: contacting the surface of the roll with a surface wave probe, before or during grinding the roll, via a film of a coupling medium existing therebetween; measuring a height of reflected waves from the thermally/mechanically damaged surface, existing or remaining in the surface of the roll, in such a manner that surface waves are propagated into the roll from the surface wave probe while a liquid existing on a path of the surface waves is removed; and determining a grinding allowance of the roll according to the height of the reflected waves. By this method, the grinding allowance of the roll is optimized to reduce the roll consumption and to improve the roll grinding efficiency.
